Effect of the Seven-Cycle Learning Strategy (7E'S) in Developing the Cognitive Aspects to Learn Some Complex Skills in Football for Students
Get PDFThrough the researcher's observation of teaching football and his interest in this game, he noticed that most of the learners are slow in learning compound skills in football because it is one of the skills that need movement compatibility in performance. Where the researcher believes that the failure to introduce modern teaching strategies that suit their capabilities and physical capabilities, The purpose of the study was to determine the impact of employing the seven-course learning technique.cycle ( E's 7) in developing cognitive aspects and learning some complex skills in football for students. Third, the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, University of Basra, whose number is (150) students. The research sample was chosen by lottery method (65) students from (6) people who were divided into two groups, control and experimental, with (25) students for each group. The researcher concluded that the curriculum prepared by the researcher worked on increasing the positive interaction to develop the knowledge environment through the educational units. It increased the experiences of the students in making the decisions they face to make their participation effective in the educational process. It was recommended to conduct comparative studies using the seven-cycle learning strategy (7 E'S ) with modern teaching strategies and methods
Outcome of Concomitant Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery with Valve Replacement and the Role of Echocardiography for Assessment Overall Survival of Patients
Get PDFBackground Coronary artery disease (CAD) and significant aortic valve stenosis are common co-morbidities.Objective: This study was conducted assessment outcomes for patients who underwent to concomitant coronary artery bypass surgery and valve replacement. Patients and methods Our paper was conducted a cross-sectional study to analyse the clinical and demographic results for patients from Iraq who underwent CABG with valve replacement. The study focused on clinical demographic characteristics to identify the surgical outcomes of (CABG) for 86 cases, both male and female, aged between 50 and 70. Clinical data was collected from different hospitals in Iraq between 8th July 2022 and 15th October 2023. The data was analysed using the SPSS program. Results and Discussion Our paper was conducted a study to analyse the clinical and demographic results for patients who underwent CABG. It was found that the rate of men was 66.3%, whereas for women it was 33.7%. It was observed that patients with Single-vessel disease had a rate of 50%, while patients with Three-vessel disease had a rate of 25.6%. It was identified that CPB operative time was (105 ± 35), ACC time was (63 ± 27), and systolic pulmonary artery pressure was (50 ± 18). To further our findings, our study revealed a postoperative complication rate of 23 cases (26.8%). The most prevalent factors affecting patients after surgery were Sternal wound infection (8 cases, 9.3%) and bleeding (6 cases, 7%). The study outlines a decrease in patient survival rates over time following surgery. The data reveals the survival rate of patients in the first 20 months to be 80%, dropping to approximately 44% after 120 months. Conclusion The study demonstrated the efficacy of the CABG procedure in reducing patients’ complications by 26.8%. However, the study did observe a decrease in the survival rate over time

Smart Cards Enhance Service Quality in Iraqi Banks A Quantitative Analysis
Get PDFThis research examines the role of smart card banking services in enhancing the perceived quality of service in Iraqi commercial banks. Despite the global advancement in electronic banking, Iraqi banks lag in effectively utilizing smart card services. This study aims to identify the relationships between smart card banking services and perceived service quality, uncovering deficiencies such as inadequate ATM and POS availability, limited ATM functionalities, and weaknesses in technical and marketing aspects. Using a quantitative research method, the findings highlight the need for developing and redesigning smart card services to better meet customer needs. The study recommends that bank management allocate funds to increase ATMs and POS systems, expand ATM services, and establish technical units focused on developing high-quality electronic services. These measures are essential for improving customer satisfaction and achieving higher service quality
Early Diagnosis by Clinical, X-ray, and Echo Study and Surgical Total Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot
Get PDFBackground Tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect that occurs at birth. It involves a combination of four heart abnormalities that cause affects into the structure and function of the heart.
Objective Our study aimed to assess surgical outcomes of total correction patients who have TOF.
Patients and methods Our paper was conducted a cross-sectional study to determine surgical outcomes for patients who had undergone in total correction surgery for patients with TOF in different hospitals in Iraq between 16th March 2022 and 26th May 2023. Data was analysed using the SPSS program for 110 cases–55 children and 55 adults–based on age, sex, weight, BMI, and symptoms.
Results and discussions: Demographic outcomes showed that children had a higher number of cases compared to adults, with children at (7.2±2.7) and adults at (21.27±1.96). Atrial septal defect was found to be the most prevalent condition in both age groups, with a rate of 29.1% in children and a high rate of cases observed in hospital settings with a percentage of 32.7%. The study compared the outcomes of children and adults and found that Cyanosis had the highest rate of symptomatic cases, accounting for 36.4% of cases in both children and adults. The data indicated that 94.5% of children received intraoperative blood products, compared to 63.6% of adults. Furthermore, 81.8% of children were administered PRBC compared to 63.6% of adults. In terms of FFP, 76.4% of children were given it, while only 58.2% of adults received it.
Similarly, 72.7% of children were given platelets compared to 47.3% of adults. To further our understanding of outcomes, we evaluated post-operative complications in patients with TOF. Our findings indicate that children experienced more complications than adults after surgery, with a rate of 43.6% in children compared to 25.5% in adults. Pulmonary regurgitation was found to be a prevalent factor after surgery, with a rate of 11 (20%) in children and 5 (9.1%) in adults.
Conclusions: Our study indicated an increased rate of postoperative complications in children compared to adults. Complications were identified in both children (43.6%) and adults (25.5%), with low cardiac output syndrome and pulmonary regurgitation being the most common.

Advanced Filtration Techniques in Environmental Engineering
Get PDFGranular filters and membrane filters, two essential filtration methods in environmental engineering, are thoroughly examined in this study. These techniques greatly aid air pollution control problems and water and wastewater treatment. The first section of the study outlines the basic ideas that underpin each filtration technique. The mechanical particle trapping mechanisms of granular filters, their wide range of applications in water treatment, and design factors, including media kinds and layers, are all examined. On the other hand, membrane filters are closely scrutinised because of their size exclusion principles, variety of types (from microfiltration to ultrafiltration), and vital function in industrial waste treatment and desalination processes. The study goes into additional detail about the maintenance, clogging, and financial ramifications that different filtering techniques must deal with. A comparison analysis provides insights into each method's applicability for various environmental engineering applications by illuminating its efficacy, affordability, and application specificity. The study's conclusion considers the potential for growth and current and upcoming technical developments in the filtration industry. This study lays the groundwork for forthcoming advancements and uses in the field of environmental engineering while also highlighting the significance of these filtering methods in modern ecological engineering
